Diane Keaton will accept her longtime friend and former lover Woody Allen's Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globe Awards next year (14). The Blue Jasmine filmmaker is the 2014 recipient of the prestigious honour, but Allen, who is notorious for shunning awards shows, is not planning to attend the ceremony.
Members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who nominate and vote on the awards, have now decided to ask Keaton to accept the award on his behalf, according to Deadline.com.
Keaton and Allen met in 1968 when she was cast in his Broadway production, Play it Again, and she appeared in eight of his films over the course of two decades. They also dated for five years.
Previous recipients of the top honour include Jodie Foster, Morgan Freeman, Harrison Ford, Audrey Hepburn, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.
The 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards will be held in Los Angeles on 12 January (14).

Fourth of July reminds citizens to be grateful for the freedoms and rights we have as Americans. Although we are fortunate enough to have such liberties, other parts of the world do not have the same privileges, like in Saudi Arabia where women's rights are astonishingly outdated.
Wadjda is the first film ever to come from Saudi Arabia. On top of that surprising news, it is also from first-time female filmmaker, Haiffa al Mansour. In a country where women's rights are extremely backward, it is not only shocking but also a sign of progress that the film comes from a female director.
The first trailer for the drama-fueled film follows teenage girl Wadjda (Waad Mohammed), who competes in a Koran-reciting contest at school with the hopes to earn enough cash to buy herself a bicycle. Simultaneously, Wadjda's mother grapples with her failing marriage. The charming trailer for the film pushes boundaries by addressing Saudia Arabia's archaic peception of women. With an upbeat, musical energy, this film not only looks like a delight to watch, but also serves to introduce viewers to a closed-off culture.
Wadjda opens on July 19th in the U.K. and Sony Picture Classics is set to bring the sentimental story stateside this year.

From Our PartnersStars Pose Naked for 'Allure' (Celebuzz)20 Grisliest TV Deaths of 2012-2013 (Vulture)

It worked for Dallas. So it's no surprise Patrick Duffy, who returned to TNT to revive his role as Bobby Ewing for the hit Dallas reboot, is considering other possible TV reunions.
Next on his list? Step by Step, the beloved '90s TGIF series that Duffy hopes to bring back for a two-hour reunion special. "I would love to work with Suzanne [Somers] again," he tells The Hollywood Reporter. “The Step By Step cast was so wonderful to be with. They were my family and I think a little two-hour special about where these people are – not a documentary, but actually doing a show – seeing where they all come to over the years. It would be so fun to play that goofy Frank Lambert character again, aging another 25 years.”
But with the exception of Duffy and Somers, who has gone on to develop a lucrative line of anti-aging products, Step By Step's cast has stayed out of the spotlight following the series' wrap in 1998. So what have the Fosters and Lamberts been up to? And what do they look like now? Before they meet up for a second time around, find out below!
Following 2004's Dallas Reunion: Return to Southfork, Patrick Duffy — otherwise known as Step By Step's patriarch Frank Lambert — returned to Southfork once again with TNT's Dallas reboot, now in its second season. The actor also has used his fame for endorsement deals, proving how old we are by becoming a spokesman for Miracle-Ear hearing aids.
Suzanne Somers' Carol Foster-Lambert might have lived happily ever after with Frank, but since wrapping Step By Step, the actress has become obsessed with living happily ever after as a young woman. The 66-year-old actress so inspired fans with her anti-aging efforts that's she's developed a successful product line in her own name. But not everyone is happy with her happily ever after — Somers has come under fire for her support of the controversial bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and for her 2010 book, Knockout, which suggests alternative cancer treatments for those facing chemotherapy.
With the exception of a traffic incident that left Brandon Call shot in both arms in 1996, little is known about the actor who memorably portrayed oldest son J.T. Lambert. In fact, though Call starred on such series as Baywatch, Magnum, P.I., and the Charmings prior to his successful Step By Step run, J.T. would prove to be Call's final role call.
Staci Keanan — who played Carol's oldest daughter, Dana — would most likely be game for a Step By Step reunion. After all, the actress already reteamed with Duffy and Christine Lakin in You Again. But the 2010 comedy wasn't her only turn on the big screen — Keanan, who guest starred in various series like Diagnosis: Murder in the late '90s — turned her attention to film after Step By Step's run was complete. Among the projects on her resume: 2009's Sarah's Choice, 2010'S Holyman Undercover, and her most recent project, 2010's Death and Cremation. Could a Step By Step reunion revive her career again?
Angela Watson — the actress who played Step By Step's beauty queen, Karen — found herself fielding the same problem that plagues many child stars. Discovering that her own family had mismanaged the $2.8 million in wages she earned on Step by Step, the actress founded Child Actors Supporting Themselves in 2000 in an attempt to help young actors learn how to manage their money. Watson, who acts on stage and in various low-profile film projets, continues to turn her attention toward helping others, becoming the spokesperson for the charity Hugs America. It's nice to say that Karen wouldn't approve.
One of step By Step's more successful actors, Christopher Castile — who played brainiac Mark Foster — turned starring roles in Beethoven and Beethoven's 2nd into a voice acting role as Hey Arnold!'s Eugene Horowitz. But he had enough of show business following Step By Step's success — Castile soon left Hey Arnold! (replaced, strangely enough, by Jarrett Lennon, an actor who was cast as Step By Step's Mark before Castile stepped in) and retired from acting altogether. And it turns out life imitated art — Castile channeled his smarty-pants Step By Step alter-ego and became a political science professor at Biola University.
Arguably Step By Step's most successful alum, Christine Lakin — who played tomboy Al — boasted guest roles in high-profile series like Boston Public, Veronica Mars, CSI: Miami, Bones, Family Guy, and more. Her big screen is not quite as respectable, with critically reviled films like Valentine's Day, Parental Guidance, and, of course, the Hottie &amp; The Nottie on her resume. The silver lining? The actress, who continues to win roles on the big and small screen, definitely grew up to be a hottie.
Just as quickly as Frank's youngest son Brendan mysteriously disappeared from the series without mention (in order to make way for the cuter baby Lilly), the actor who portrayed him, Josh Byrne, disappeared from Hollywood. We'd claim he was still chained in Frank and Carol's basement, but this picture of the actor dressed in costume proves he's alive, and presumably can be seen at your local Renaissance Faire.
Emily Mae Young was already famous by the time she joined Step By Step's cast as Carol and Frank's youngest daughter, Lilly. The young actress first won acclaim as the Cabbage Patch Doll-like girl in a series of Welch's Grape Juice ads before she moved on to the TGIF TV series. Her career, however, was short-lived, and following a role in 1999's Undercover Angel, Young disappeared from Hollywood.
Sasha Mitchell, who portrayed lovable loser Cody, suffered from a bout of bad publicity in the late '90s when he was accused of domestic abuse. Perhaps that's why Mitchell — who retained full custody of his children following claims that he was protecting his children from their abusive mother — opted to change his appearance dramatically following the headlines. Though Cody could hardly work hard enough to leave the Lamberts' backyard, Mitchell worked hard in the gym, beefing up enough to earn roles in films like Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star and on acronym-friendly series like JAG, ER, and NYPD Blue. Mitchell, who continues to act, also has a black belt. As Cody would say, Whoa.
Jason Marsden, loved for his roles in two beloved '90s series — Step By Step, as J.T.'s friend Rich, and Boy Meets World, as, fittingly, Jason Marsden — began a successful career in voice acting after Step By Step, starring in series like The Legend of Tarzan, Justice League, The Batman, The Fairly OddParents, and much, much more. Makes sense the animated actor would find money in animation.
Patrika Darbo, who played Carol's sister Penny, might have been written out of the series after Season 1, but she was hardly written out of Hollywood. One of the industry's more recognizable character actresses, Darbo has boasted roles in Seinfeld, Desperate Housewives, and Dexter. She also scored a recurring gig on Days of Our Lives, playing Craig Wesley's wife Nancy. So it turns out Darbo's hair wasn't the only thing that improved post-Step By Step.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association will honour the actress/director for her contributions to showbusiness at the group's 70th awards ceremony on 13 January (13).
Foster's Panic Room co-star Kristen Stewart and actor Simon Baker made the announcement at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Thursday morning (01Nov12).
The 49 year old, who already has two Golden Globes for her performances in The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs, will be the youngest celebrity to be feted with the trophy since Charlton Heston in 1967.
The Cecil B. DeMille Award is given to individuals who have made an impact on entertainment. Previous recipients have included Morgan Freeman, Bette Davis, Harrison Ford, Audrey Hepburn, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.

The trailers for Hope Springs might lead you to believe it's a romantic comedy about a couple trying to jumpstart their sexless marriage but it causes more empathetic cringing than chuckles. Audiences will be drawn to Hope Springs by its stars Meryl Streep Tommy Lee Jones and Steve Carell and Streep's track record of pleasing summer movies like Julie &amp; Julia and Mamma Mia! that offer a respite from the blockbusters flooding theaters. Despite what its marketing might have you believe Hope Springs isn't a rom-com. The film is a disarming mixture of deeply intimate confessions by a married couple in the sanctuary of a therapist's office awkwardly honest attempts by that couple to physically reconnect and incredibly sappy scenes underscored by intrusive music. Boldly addressing female desire especially in older women it's hard not to give the movie extra credit for what writer Vanessa Taylor's script is trying to convey and its rarity in mainstream film. The ebb and flow of intimacy and desire in a long-term relationship is what drives Hope Springs and while there are plenty contrived moments and unresolved issues it is frankly surprising and surprisingly frank. It's a summer release from a major studio with high caliber stars aimed squarely at the generally underserved 50+ audience addressing the even more taboo topic of that audience's sex life.
Streep plays Kay a suburban wife who's deeply unsatisfied emotionally and sexually by her marriage to Arnold. Arnold who is played by Tommy Lee Jones as his craggiest sleeps in a separate bedroom now that their kids have left the nest; he's like a stone cold robot emotionally and physically and Kay tiptoes around trying to make him happy even as he ignores her every gesture. One of the most striking scenes in the movie is at the very beginning when Kay primps and fusses over her modest sleepwear in the hopes of seducing her husband. Streep makes it obvious that this isn't an easy thing for Kay; it takes all her guts to try and wordlessly suggest sex to her husband and when she's shot down it hurts to watch. This isn't a one time disconnect between their libidos; this is an ongoing problem that leaves Kay feeling insecure and undesirable.
After a foray into the self-help section of her bookstore Kay finds a therapist who holds week-long intensive couples' therapy sessions in Good Hope Springs ME and in a seemingly unprecedented moment of decisiveness she books a trip for the couple. Arnold of course is having none of it but he eventually comes along for the ride. That doesn't mean he's up for answering any of Dr. Feld's questions though. To be fair Dr. Feld (Carell) is asking the couple deeply intimate questions so if Arnold is comfortable foisting his amorous wife off with the excuse he had pork for lunch it's not so far-fetched to believe he'd be angry when Feld asks him about his fantasy life or masturbation habits.
Although Arnold gets a pass on some of his issues Kay is forthright about why and how she's dissatisfied. When Dr. Feld asks her if she masturbates she says she doesn't because it makes her too sad. Kay offers similar revelations; she's willing to bare it all to revive her marriage while Arnold thinks the fact that they're married at all means they must be happy. Carell's Dr. Feld is soothing and kind (even a bit bland) but it's always a pleasure to see him play it straight.
It's subversive for a mega-watt star to play a character that talks about how sexually unsatisfied she is and how unsexy she feels with the man she loves most in the world. The added taboo of Kay and Arnold's age adds that much more to the conversation. Kay and Arnold's attempts at intimacy are emotionally raw and hard to watch. Even when things get funny they're mostly awkward funny not ha-ha funny.
The rest of the movie is a little uneven wrapped up tightly and happily by the end. Their time spent soul-searching alone is a little cheesy especially when Kay ends up in a local bar where she gets a little dizzy on white wine while dishing about her problems to the bartender (Elisabeth Shue). Somewhere along the line what probably started out as a character study ended up as a wobbly drama that pushes some boundaries but eventually lets everyone off the emotional hook in favor of a smoothed-over happy ending. Still its disarming moments and performances almost balance it out. Although its target audience might be dismayed to find it's not as light-hearted as it would seem Hope Springs offers up the opportunity for discussion about sexuality and aging at a time when books and films like 50 Shades of Grey and Magic Mike are perking up similar conversations. In the end that's a good thing.

A decade-long gap between sequels could leave a franchise stale but in the case of Men in Black 3 it's the launch pad for an unexpectedly great blockbuster. The kooky antics of Agent J (Will Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) don't stray far from their 1997 and 2002 adventures but without a bombardment of follow-ups to keep the series in mind the wonderfully weird sensibilities of Men in Black feel fresh Smith's natural charisma once again on full display. Barry Sonnenfeld returns for the threequel another space alien romp with a time travel twist — which turns out to be Pandora's Box for the director's deranged imagination.
As time passed in the real world so did it for the timeline in the world of Men in Black. Picking up ten years after MIB 2 J and K are continuing to protect the Earth from alien threats and enforce the law on those who live incognito. While dealing with their own personal issues — K is at his all-time crabbiest for seemingly no reason — the suited duo encounter an old enemy Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement) a prickly assassin seeking revenge on K who blew his arm off back in the '60s. Their street fight is more of a warning; Boris' real plan is to head back in time to save his arm and kill off K. He's successful prompting J to take his own leap through the time-space continuum — and team up with a younger K (Josh Brolin) to put an end to Boris plans for world domination.
Men in Black 3 is the Will Smith show. Splitting his time between the brick personalities of Jones and Brolin's K Smith struts his stuff with all the fast-talking comedic style that made him a star in yesteryears. In present day he's still the laid back normal guy in a world of oddities — J raises an eyebrow as new head honcho O (Emma Thompson) delivers a eulogy in a screeching alien tongue but coming up with real world explanations for flying saucer crashes comes a little easier. But back in 1969 he's an even bigger fish out water. Surprisingly director Barry Sonnenfeld and writer Etan Cohen dabble in the inherent issues that would spring up if a black gentlemen decked out in a slick suit paraded around New York in the late '60s. A star of Smith's caliber may stray away from that type of racy humor but the hook of Men in Black 3 is the actor's readiness for anything. He turns J's jokey anachronisms into genuine laughs and doesn't mind letting the special effect artists stretch him into an unrecognizable Twizzler for the movie's epic time jump sequence.
Unlike other summer blockbusters Men in Black 3 is light on the action Sonnenfeld utilizing his effects budget and dazzling creature work (by the legendary Rick Baker) to push the comedy forward. J's fight with an oversized extraterrestrial fish won't keep you on the edge of your seat but his slapstick escape and the marine animal's eventual demise are genuinely amusing. Sonnenfeld carries over the twisted sensibilities he displayed in small screen work like Pushing Daisies favoring bizarre banter and elaborating on the kookiness of the alien underworld than battle scenes. MIB3's chase scene is passable but the movie in its prime when Smith is sparring with Brolin and newcomer Michael Stuhlbarg who steals the show as a being capable of seeing the future. His twitchy character keeps Smith and the audience on their toes.
Men in Black 3 digs up nostalgia I wasn't aware I had. Smith's the golden boy of summer and even with modern ingenuity keeping it fresh — Sonnenfeld uses the mandatory 3D to full and fun effect — there's an element to the film that feels plucked from another era. The movie is economical and slight with plenty of lapses in logic that will provoke head scratching on the walk out of the theater but it's also perfectly executed. After ten years of cinematic neutralizing the folks behind Men in Black haven't forgotten what made the first movie work so well. After al these years Smith continues to make the goofy plot wild spectacle and crazed alien antics look good.

Here at Hollywood.com we spend most of the year writing about the big three in pop culture: movies, TV and celebrities. But we're a knowledge-hungy, webby bunch and our interests bleed beyond those constraints, just like most people. And so, in the spirit of a true 2011 wrap-up, we've come together to deliver our favorite pop culture topics from 2011 including those YouTube videos we watched so many times that we make up a decent fraction of the millions of views and the hit songs we're even singing in our sleep - even books (yeah, we read things too!). So without further ado, and in no particular order, here are our favorite bits of pop culture from 2011:
Foster The People
Die-hard fans would correct me and say that Foster The People originally enjoyed the popularity of their smash hit single “Pumped Up Kicks” in 2010 when it became a bit of a viral sensation, and they’d be correct. Technically, that’s the year when the song came into our collective consciousness, but (and this is a big but) 2011 is the year in which Foster the People went from an Indie sensation to a mainstream sensation. Even if you can’t recall the name of this Los Angeles based band, you’ve heard at least three of their songs roughly a million times whether it was on the radio, on SNL, in car commercials, in RomComs like Friends With Benefits and schlocky horror flicks like Fright Night, or even on the season finale of Homeland. Hell, half of their 2011 album, Torches, served as soundtrack fodder for the CW’s biggest hit, The Vampire Diaries. The bottom line is: people of all walks love this kitchy, catchy, summery pop-rock. And while “Pumped Up Kicks” is about to go the way of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” – to the land of over-played songs – one of the other nine songs on the album, including “Helena Beat,” is sure to become the “Rumor Has It” or “Someone Like You” of the Foster the People roster. Add to all this that the trio is nominated for two 2012 Grammys and you’ve got a pretty solid case for why these guys landed a spot on this list. -Kelsea Stahler
Watch The Throne
With the record industry in shambles, the only artists that can make a splash in the digital age are those with true clout. Emerging acts occasionally break through the indie scene to the Billboard Top 100, but it’s the icons that are responsible for the few “event albums” in any given year these days. This year, fans responded to the new efforts from Adele, LMFAO and Katy Perry in a big way, but for my money the best new music came in the form of the highly anticipated collaboration of rap’s reigning champs Jay-Z and Kanye West. Their mutual 2011 release, “Watch the Throne”, doesn’t display the kind of growth that Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” did, but is a consistently satisfying and highly addictive audio experience. Not as lyrically inventive as it is from a production standpoint, the album has a little something for every listener, and much praise must be given to the long list of producers and songwriters who contributed to its diversity including Swizz Beats, The Neptunes, Frank Ocean, The RZA and of course Jay and Kanye. From the bass-thumping gangsta-bop “N***** in Paris”, which is about as current as any other track on the album, to the pop-centric “Lift Off” featuring a reliable hook from Beyonce, to the early 90’s drums-n-bass throwback “That’s My Bitch” to the ultra-cool instrumentation on “Why I Love You”, “Throne” is the sonic smorgasbord we knew it would be. -Daniel Hubschman
The Book of Mormon
Trey Parker and Matt Stone's leap to the Great White Way wasn't necessarily a shoe-in for musical comedy success. Even with the creators of South Park teaming up with Robert Lopez, the Tony-award winning writer/composer of Avenue Q, the duo faced an uphill battle. After all, they were risking millions on a lampoon of an entire religion (and one they've previously knocked on their show). But instead of rowdy picket lines blocking the theater's entrance or tomatoes thrown towards stage, Parker and Stone found themselves showered with praise and Tonys of their own—and for good reason. The Book of Mormon melds the low and high brow, weaving together riotous potty humor, sharp satire and classic Broadway tropes into a genuinely uplifting tale of two Mormon missions. In an era where theater struggles to stay relevant (and afloat), The Book of Mormon is a true gift from God. -Matt Patches
Spotify
Music consumption is one of modern life’s very difficult – albeit obviously inconsequential, in a grand-scheme-of-things kind of way – decisions. Buying CDs is, for many reasons, not a consideration (at least for me) and the same goes for illegal downloading. Which leaves…well, a ridiculous amount of options. The best, in my opinion – and believe me, my opinion could well change greatly over the next few years, if not months – is Spotify. The streaming service, launched Stateside in July after previously dominating Europe’s digital-music landscape, offers virtually unlimited music on your computer; and for $10 a month, you can stream all those songs on your smartphone (or download them, for those times when 3G/4G isn’t available). The latter option has made my music-consumption decision an easier one and my overall listening experience, especially on the go, much more enjoyable in 2011. As an iPhone owner, I’m still unsatisfied with Apple’s more-confusing-than-meets-the-eye (and more complicated than necessary) iTunes Match and iCloud services when it comes to having all my songs in my pocket; that’s where Spotify wins me over. Additionally, the newbie’s social-networking functionality – which admittedly isn’t of great importance for me – blows all music services, including iTunes (remember Ping?) out of the water. Indeed, Spotify has had a huge effect on me in 2011 by offering the hands-down best music option out there. It shows great promise, and will, in turn, vastly improve the competition in the not-too-distant future. However, the prospect of losing all the music I’ve paid for from Spotify if I do someday change to another service, well...maybe we’ll come back to that in our 2012 wrap-up. - Brian Marder
The Marriage Plot
When a new book hits stands, you may see the writer touted on a few morning talk shows, pop up in the big (remaining) book stores on tour. When The Marriage Plot was released, author Jeffrey Eugenides got his own big budget action movie-esque billboard in the heart of New York City's Time Square. That's faith. Eugenides followed up his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Middlesex with a lighter, multi-narrative following a group of twenty-somethings in the '80s, struggling with post-college life. It's a groan-worthy, CW-esque premise that Eugenides dives into without restraint, making for one of the year's more compelling, funny reads. Thanks to the period setting, the book has a rare relatability across generations—which may explain why it got the "Tom Cruise blockbuster" ad treatment. -Matt Patches
Mindy Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)
Alright, I’ll admit this book isn’t exactly a 2011 “sensation” for most people. You can’t find it in those airport bookstores that sell the top 25 bestsellers and when I went to pick up a copy at Barnes and Noble, I had such a hard time finding it, I decided to spring for the eBook version instead (it’s better for the environment anyway). The real reason this hilarious, thoughtful book finds its way onto this list is that while part of the reason we’re doing this list is to let you reminisce over the wonderful little distractions of 2011, we’re also helping you catch up on things you’ve missed. And if you missed Kaling’s book, now’s the time to fix that. Most famous for playing the incomprable Kelly Kapoor on The Office, comedian Mindy Kaling has slowly become something of an undergroud female icon. Why, you ask? Well, to put it simply, she gets it. I’m not usually a fan of using Twitter as a public record, but Kaling once tweeted something that stuck with me. She said, “It is so hard when your interests run girly and your temperament runs manly.” And that, in a nutshell, is why Kaling and her book rule. She’s completely admittedly girly – I mean, she’s a girl and girls cry over things like cancelled dates and “You Can Call Me Al,” right? But at the same time, she’s not such a girl about it. There’s an element of honesty, of taking these embarassing girl truths at face value and just laughing at them, accepting the simultaneous mundane reality, urgent importance and complete absurdity of what it means to be the type of girl who doesn’t always say the right thing, or nab the mega babes, or do anything that can be deemed remotely cool (oh except getting a role and a writing job on a little sitcom called The Office, but who’s counting that, Kaling doesn’t understand one night stands and worries that she’ll be a Jane Eyre attic lady forever like the rest of us secret dorks). Essentially, Kaling is the real life version of what Zooey Deschanel’s New Girl purports to be; she gives the dorky, smart girls – who love silly things like smokey eye shadow and pretty, overpriced dresses just as much as the sleek, painfully cool women do – a hilarious voice and I applaud her for it. -Kelsea Stahler
Fight for Your Right (Revisited)
The thing I love most about “Fight for Your Right (Revisited),” the outlying comedy/musical short film starring Elijah Wood, Seth Rogen and Danny McBride as a dilapidated manifestation of the Beastie Boys, is how much I don’t quite understand why it was made. Is it a tribute to the Beastie Boys? Is it a defamation of the Beastie Boys? Is it simply an exercise in creative filmmaking? Whatever the motivation, the outcome is brilliant: it’s bizarre, it’s uneven, it stars just about every contemporary comic actor you know and love. It’s definitely something worth devoting a half-hour to. -Michael Arbeiter
The #SixSeasonsandaMovie Save Community Movement
This one is inherently bittersweet—if Community wasn’t suffering from low ratings and a shaky security of residence at NBC, the #SixSeasonsandaMovie movement wouldn’t have been called for. But to see countless Community fans take to the Internet with their Abed-ism hash-tags, their Dark Timeline goatees, and various other expressions of their love for Greendale Community College was an inspiring triumph all its own for those of us who appreciate a good baggle. -Michael Arbeiter
Adele's "Someone Like You"
Who knew one song could evoke such raw emotions? Adele's lyrics seem to do just that time and time again. Unlike most artists who rely on auto-tune and visual aesthetics to help make a song memorable, Adele doesn't need any of those things. Her deep, soulful, powerhouse of a voice is enough to send chills up anyone's spine, especially when you're dealing with a song as heartbreaking and relatable as "Somone Like You." This song offers a look at the bitter realities of love and heartbreak -- and finding the strength to move on in the aftermath. Sure it's a little depressing, but what tragic love story isn't? It still doesn't stop us from curling up with a box of tissues and watching them every so often. Her songs emulate real-life emotions, which makes it easy to personally connect with -- seeing ourselves in her lyrical plots. It's no secret that Adele became a breakout performer this year and this song helped earn her a permanent place in the music industry. Plus, if your songs turn into an AMAZING mash-up on Glee, you know you've hit it big. -Kelly Schremph
The Super Bass Girls
Sophia Grace and Rosie skyrocketed to stardom after appearing on Ellen last October to perform the Nicki Minaj song, "Super Bass," in front of a live audience after gaining YouTube fame for their at-home performance of the song. Not only were they the most adorable little girls you've ever seen, but they were also extremely talented. Sophia Grace's voice is remarkable for such a young age, but what was even more impressive was how she managed to memorize the rather complex lyrics of Minaj's popular hit song -- a feat which even the most respected adults can't seem to accomplish. And Rosie is the epitome of cuteness with her shy little dance moves, helping to give Sophia Grace "more confidence" (say it with me: aww). Seriously, just try to watch these tutu-wearing, pink-obsessed ballerinas perform without breaking out into a smile. It's impossible to do and I'm so happy Ellen brought them to the front and center of our lives (and TV screens). Whenever you experience a bad day of work or just get into a mid-winter funk, just watch this clip and you'll be back to normal in no time. I promise! -Kelly Schremph
Honey Badger
Lots can be learned from studying biology and the biosphere and natural habitats and ecology and all the different eco systems. And what happens after we’re done learning about all those things is we take all the knowledge we’ve acquired and generally try and put it to use, so we can make our own lives better! And this is why I love this video of the Honey Badger so much – through watching how the Honey Badger doesn’t care if bees swarm around it and sting its face, WE learn how those kinds of outrageous incidents are survivable! I guess I’m trying to express how much I value the inspirational nature of this video. It’s just – really life changing. -Hannah Lawrence
Flour Children
This video of a mother coming home to a house covered in flour is wonderful for a variety of reasons, but most obviously because of how shocked and paralyzed she is by the situation. She genuinely doesn’t know what to do, and even though she’s walking around the house with her video camera, her mind is GENUINELY at a complete standstill. -Hannah Lawrence

John Travolta's John Gotti biopic Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father has been put on hold after running out of cash, Showbiz411 reports. Gotti has been plagued by rumors of money problems seemingly since the day it was announced, but that hadn't stopped producer Marc Fiore from luring some pretty big names to the project. In addition to Travolta, attached castmembers included Al Pacino, Kelly Preston, and Ben Foster. Barry Levinson was slated to direct. Start of production had been planned for January, but that prospect now seems all but impossible.

John Travolta can next be seen in the Oliver Stone film Savages. Xenu commands you to click on the image below to check out his photo gallery:

The Ides of March are upon us, and the impressive teaming of the classic George Clooney and the vibrant Ryan Gosling is inspiring. In fact, it’s such a potent power duo that it makes us think of other great pairings of the past.
What films have provided us with such superhuman stardom? Whose forces have joined to relinquish unmitigated glory? Let’s take a look…
Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington in Philadelphia
The Power of Hanks: Tireless relatability. Putting the everymanest everyman ever in the taboo position of being a gay man afflicted with AIDS makes the situation seem more real, less alien, and far more sympathetic to those who had discounted it prior.
The Power of Washington: Extreme intimidation. Maybe you can brush off a message that someone else might deliver to you…but if Denzel tells you that you should feel something in a movie, you’re terrified not to feel it. He might hear about it. Then you’ll be in trouble.
When They Join Forces: We get one of the most powerful movies of the 1990s—sympathetic, hard-hitting, not without humor, even in the darkest parts (that’s life, after all), and definitely something that’ll get through to you.
Edward Norton and Brad Pitt in Fight Club
The Power of Norton: Brooding psychological fragmentation that couldn’t possibly have been more appealing to the aging Gen-Xers to whom this movie was dedicated.
The Power of Pitt: The ability to make you—no matter how happy you were with your life at the time of stepping into the movie—wish you were Tyler Durden. You begin to question the merit of your cookie-cutter life, your “surface value” job and relationships, and even your own morals. All because Brad Pitt is just so damn cool.
When They Join Forces: We get the iconic story of every single over privileged young adult in the 1990s coming to terms with himself, his world, his mind, his choices, and his taste in music. The Pixies record sales must have shot up like a thousand times that year.
Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs
The Power of Foster: The perfect balance of courage and fear. Foster as an FBI agent braving both the waters of a male dominated industry, and taking on an incredibly dangerous case with the help of an incredibly dangerous individual to boot—but none of it ever seems hokey, thrill-driven or making-a-statement-esque on the part of the actress. She plays a very human character very humanly.
The Power of Hopkins: Horror. Not just because he eats people—although that’s not exactly one of his more affectionate qualities—
When They Join Forces: We get one of the strangest, most unforgettable partnerships (and, if you would be so bold as to call it this, friendships) in cinematic history, and one of the most haunting and intriguing movies of the past few decades.
Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino in Heat, The Godfather Part 2, Righteous Kill
The Power of DeNiro: Reservation. DeNiro has his tipping point, but he keeps it bottled well until absolutely necessary. That’s what’s great about classic Bobby D performances: you know what’s coming, you just don’t know when.
The Power of Pacino: The exact opposite of reservation. Al Pacino comes flying onto the screen like a bat out of hell. His idea of a subdued performance is only one heart attack on set. But it’s never overdone.
When They Join Forces: We get a big heap of cement (that’s DeNiro), speckled with chunks of gravel (that’s Pacino) to form arguably the mightiest duo in Hollywood.
Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive
The Power of Ford: That grimace. That clench-jawed, grumbling grimace that says, “Get off my plane,” “Give me back my family,” “Why did it have to be snakes?” and “Greedo never shoulda shot first.”
The Power of Jones: What powers does Jones NOT have? He can play the ultimate badass. He can play a craven coward. He is a true warrior of cinema, and is nearly unrivaled in superhuman acting abilities.
When They Join Forces: We get an unstoppable powerhouse cataclysm dynamite volcano explosion of wonder. Or, you know…something in that neighborhood.
Christian Bale and Johnny Depp in Public Enemies
The Power of Bale: Heightened strength and agility, superb detective/analytical skills, advanced technology including the Batmobile…oh, wait. Wrong movie…um, chiseled jaw?
The Power of Depp: The Baritone Salamander. That’s his superhero name. When not overdoing it in Burtonian hyper-roles, Depp is actually a prized performer
When They Join Forces: We get a clash of the swift-winged titans—and probably the handsomest face-off in recent history.
Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood in The Bridges of Madison County
The Power of Streep: Authenticity. It has been said of Meryl Streep, “She’s so authentic. [You] really believe everything is actually happening to her. There's no acting there” (Elaine Benes). Well, who are we to disagree?
The Power of Eastwood: Grrr…
When They Join Forces: We get a pleasant surprise. As music soothes the savage beast does the whimsical Streep to the gruffled and grisly Eastwood. Sure, when we think Clint, we think shoot outs and war stories. But is this not a timeless romance, appreciated by all—except that one woman in In &amp; Out? It is.
Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise in Rain Man
The Power of Hoffman: Complete and utter dedication. Dustin Hoffman gets so incredibly immersed into character that he was famously mocked by Sir Laurence Olivier for being far too over-prepared for his roles. But it pays off in spades—
The Power of Cruise: Narcissism. That’s not a dig at the actor, it’s one at his characters. Cruise manages to channel perfectly the ideas of entitlement and self-absorption, injecting them quite well into stories like Rain Man, which was more about his struggle to open his heart to something than about his brother’s trials with autism.
When They Join Forces: We get truly moving film about, more than anything else, family. Sure, Cruise’s character had no idea that Hoffman’s was his brother for the first three decades of his life…but the connection was organically formed between the two least likely of hosts. It’ll get ya.
Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman in The Shawshank Redemption
The Power of Robbins: Stoicism. Andy Dufresne was in control from the get-go…or at least after the whole cheating wife debacle. Something clicked in him right around the presumed time he “quit drinking,” and he managed to chauffer us all through a journey about understanding yourself and your world.
The Power of Freeman: Fatherliness. Even in the dark pit of a jail cell full of deranged psychopaths, if you’ve got Morgan Freeman on your side, you can never feel too unsettled.
When They Join Forces: We get friendship. An incredibly meaningful friendship. Shawshank is a story about freedom—more internal freedom than literal—and part of Red’s freedom came from his acquirement of a true friend from whom he could learn things about life.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in Titanic and Revolutionary Road
The Power of DiCaprio: Humanity. In so many DiCaprio roles, these included, he is gruffled, yet clean-cut. Good guy, yet dirtbag. Whether a middle class sell-out or an impoverished young artist who lies his way into the company of an aristocratic beauty, Leo is always firing on all cylinders.
The Power of Winslet: Her powers are innumerable. She’s never delivered a role that was anything below spectacular.
When They Join Forces: We get heartbreak. Either both of them die, or their marriage sours to the point of irrevocability. Either way, it’s a somber tale of the experience of love. But hey—that’s Hollywood!
